What am I looking at?
Visual recognition
Very fine, torqueable micro guidewire with a shapeable distal tip, sized for passage through a compatible microcatheter and visibly smaller than standard 0.035-inch guidewires.

Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Provides fine distal navigation through a compatible microcatheter for superselective catheterization and small-vessel angiography, particularly when a low-profile, shapeable guidewire is required to enter tortuous or angled branches.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
The micro guidewire is sized and shaped for distal navigation within a microcatheter, distinguishing it from larger 0.014-, 0.018-, or 0.035-inch working guidewires used as broader device platforms.
